Safer pain relief for kids? major trial tests ketamine alternative to opioids

NCT ID NCT06835504

Summary

This large study aims to find out if a drug called ketamine works as well as the standard morphine for treating severe pain in children who come to the emergency room with a broken bone or bad stomach ache. Researchers want to see if ketamine causes fewer serious side effects like breathing problems. They will also check if children who get ketamine have better recovery with less stress, anxiety, and need for pain medicine in the months after their ER visit.
